similar to: patch for 2.4.9

Patches against 2.4.10-pre4 and 2.4.9-ac9 are at http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/ext3/ It's a fairly large change. The most significant parts are * the inclusion of Stephen's error-handling work, which is designed to remount the fs read-only in the presence of software and hardware errors, rather than forcing a panic. * Stephen's fix for the journal_revoke assertion

Hi, this site: http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/ext3/ says "Forbidden" when I try to access .... , where can I download the ext3 patch for 2.4.15 ? Thank you Nikolai

An update of the ext3 journalling filesystem for 2.4 kernels is available at http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/ext3/ Patches are against 2.4.6-ac1 and 2.4.6. Changes since 0.0.8 include: - Multiplied the version numbering by ten to cater for bugfix releases against the 0.9.0 stream. - The main thrust has been the removal of a number of changes in the core kernel which were required

I am in the odd situation of needing to revert my root partition back to ext2 so that it may be resized. I prefer to use Partition Magic at the moment and it can only work with partitions of ext2, not ext3. I believe that the documentation for ext3 exists at the main web site, http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/ext3/. That is my next destination but as the answer may not exist there, I

An ext3 update for Alan's latest kernel is at http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/ext3/ The version of ext3 in -ac kernels currently stands at 0.9.6, so this is a fairly large diff. However most of this code has had a decent amount of external testing via the 0.9.9 patch. The changelog since 0.9.6 is below. Please test it if you can, and all being well we shall ask Alan to merge it a

Hey how is it going. I can't seem to access the latest patch for 2.4.14 from the website @ www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/ext3/ Can someone send me the file (by email) or have a mirror/site where I can download from. Thanks ps - I know the purpose of the mailing list is not this, but this is my last resort. I really need to try ext3 on my laptop. thanks again exo

Hey, Thanks for sending me the patch Wiktor, but I was looking for the patch ext3-2.4-0.9.15-2414.gz . If someone has that let me know. Does it work well with kernel 2.4.14 (any installation issues ?) . Why can't I download from http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/ext3 page. If someone can zip the gz patch and email it to me that would be awesome. My email client acts up sometimes.

Passes all my testing. http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/ext3/ It's still at 0.9.13. No changes were made apart from resolving the fs.h reject, and retesting. People who have already applied the 2.4.13-pre6 patch to 2.4.13 needn't apply this patch.

Just wanted to note that you also need "mount" => 2.11 to use "auto" in fstab. On the homepage http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/ext3/ it only tells you to use "util-linux" => 2.11 Also, a note about SILO not working with unclean Ext3 would be nice (i.e. make a dedicated ext2 /boot partition if you want to run ext3 on Sparc). /Martin (very new to this list)

An ext3 patch against linux 2.4.10 is at http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/ext3/ This patch is *lightly tested* - ie, it boots and does stuff. The changes to ext3 are small, but the kernel which it patches has recently changed a lot. If you're cautious, please wait a couple of days. The patch retains the buffer-tracing code. This will soon be broken out into a separate patch to make

Hi. I just installed ext3 for 2.4.5 from http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/ext3/ but couldn't find anything about converting my root partition to ext3. 2 partitions are now ext3 after I umount and tune2fs, but what should I do with / ? I tried init 1 and umount, but tune2fs would fail because it was on read-only fs. Another question is if I can now build ext2 as a module, and if it's

Hi all, I followed the instructions on http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/ext3/ext3-usage.html, and make bzImage gave the following: ..... make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.5/arch/i386/lib' ld -m elf_i386 -T /usr/src/linux-2.4.5/arch/i386/vmlinux.lds -e stext arch/i386/kernel/head.o arch/i386/kernel/init_task.o init/main.o init/version.o \ --start-group \

Download details and documentation are at http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/ext3/ Changes since ext3-0.9.13 (which was against linux-2.4.13): - Fixed a null-pointer dereference oops which could hit on SMP machines. This fix was applied to 2.4.12-ac6, but the oops has never been reported against -ac kernels. - Large amounts of developer debug code has been removed. This will now be

Patch against linux-2.4.8 is at http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/ext3/ The only changes here are merging up to 2.4.8 and the bigendian fix. linux-2.4.8-ac1 currently has ext3-0.9.3 which has no known crash-worthy bugs, but is old. I'm about to send Alan a diff which takes -ac up to 0.9.6. The changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.6 may be summarised as: - Simplify the handling of

Hello, I am going to set up a new file server ("smb" and "nfs") machine for the local network of my former school. Therefore I've just downloaded and successfully compiled "linux-2.4.9-ac5" (including "disk quota support" and, of course, support for "ext3 file system"). I've read the statement: | ... | | The quota code in the -ac

Hi everyone, The Linux Coda drivers and the ext3 patches don't seem to get along very well, at least in Linux 2.4.7. I've got a stock 2.4.7 kernel with a patch applied to the USB drivers (for a sony digital camera; see http://www.sujal.net/tech/linux/ just a change in unusual_devs.h). After I applied the ext3 patches from http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/ext3/ . Basically,

An update to the ext3 filesystem for 2.4 kernels is available at http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/ext3/ The diffs are against linux-2.4.7 and linux-2.4.6-ac5. The changelog is there. One rarely-occurring but oopsable bug was fixed and several quite significant performance enhancements have been made. These are in addition to the performance fixes which went into 0.9.3. Ted has put out a

Hi there, I am trying to find information about running ext3 with 2.4.x From the looks of the list it seems to be supported however I could only find a patch for 2.2.19, if it is somewhere in the 2.4.x kernel I can't find where. Can someone please point me in the right direction? Thank you Ken

The latest ext3 patches against linux-2.4.7 and linux-2.4.7-ac3 are at http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/ext3/ Changes since 0.9.4 include: - Fixed a bug which could trip an assertion failure when using small journals under heavy load in full data journalling mode. - A patch from Ted plus the latest version of e2fsprogs plus the stomping of various ext3 bugs gives us preliminary
